Bucyk, Oliver Watch Finale From Stands
BOSTON, Mass.— Both of Boston’s big scoring guns, Murray Oliver and Johnny Bucyk, watched the 1962-63 finale from the grandstand last weekend. Bucyk, the Bruins’ No. 1 scorer with 66 points, injured his shoulder against New York in the club’s next-to-last game of the year when he was slammed into a goal post. Oliver, No. 2 man with 62 points, went out earlier with a leg injury. To plug the gaps the Bruins elevated Jeannot Gilbert and Wayne Connelly from their EPHL farm club at Kingston, Ont.…
Gray Scores 23 Winning Goals To Boost Aces
QUEBEC CITY, Que.— If Terry Gray never scores another goal, he’s earned his salary for the 1962-63 season as far as the Quebec Aces are concerned. The former NHL castoff this year has set a fantastic record for the Aces scoring the winning goal 23 times in Quebec’s first 31 victories. For example, Gray tallied the deciding goal three times in one week recently to practically clinch a Calder Cup playoff berth single handed for the Aces. The six-foot, 175-pound right winger is a fine, aggressive hockey player who probably would have still been in the big time if he had learned to check more effectively. The Aces figure the 25-year-old Gray will be back on top if he continues to play the way he has this season in the AHL. He played 43…
Hawks Romp To Eastern Title With Hopes High For Allan Cup
NEW GLASGOW, N.S.— Moncton Hawks reign as 1963 Maritime senior hockey champions and Maritime fans are beginning to feel that the New Brunswick club could go all the way to the Allan Cup. The prized mug hasn’t been in the Maritimes since Halifax were victors in 1935 but the current Hawks are being considered as the strongest representatives of this area in a long time. Hawks, who breezed to the Maritime crown by eliminating the Cape Breton champion Glace Bay Miners in three straight games, opened the first round of Allan Cup play at home against the Prescott-Kemptville Combines, winners of the Ottawa District Senior Hockey League. Not all observers in the seaside provinces are figuring on an Allan Cup triumph—an honor bestowed on Moncton Hawk teams in 1933 and 1934—but those who do…
